He did exactly the same to me as kid (I was about 8 I think) I went to give him some change he threw it all over the floor and shouted at me for mixing up copper with silver.

He might have raised alot of money and given up alot of his time but there was no need for him to be like that.

This has brought back some painful memories think I need councilling

Anyone remember the black fella that used to walk around chapeltown road stripped to the waist in the middle of winter. He was a big bugger so wouldn't imagine many people would have been calling him a poseur or questioning his mental state.

Wasn't one of the Jeffers family was it?

When I used to work at the Jobcentre at the bottom of Eastgate there were a few members of the same family used to come in, a couple of whom were the odd penny or two short of the proverbial shilling and had a reputation for being "eccentric".

Anyone from the Chapel Allerton area remember the "dentist"?

He was an oldish guy with a big bushy multicoloured beard and who wore sunglasses and a big anorak all the time. I was told he was a dentist prior to some sort of breakdown, and he still sat in a dentist's chair in his house. He lived, I think, on Allerton Hill.

I haven't lived in Leeds for over 25 years now, but remember that he scared me when I was very young
